Born in Memphis in 1967, Charlie Wood later moved to New Orleans hooking up with Albert King and touring Europe as organist with the legendary blues guitarist before returning to Memphis where his name and music are much revered. The city has an annual Charlie Wood Day and he was given the Freedom of the City as well as a Brass Note on Beale St. - Memphis' equivalent of the Hollywood Hall of Fame.
Now resident in the UK and married to Jacqui Dankworth this is his twelfth album.
Your Love is my Home consists of a couple of standards, a couple of originals and half a dozen pop classics from Sam Cooke, Paul Simon, Robert Wyatt, Norma Winstone/Jimmy Rowles, Amy Winehouse and John Lennon. As the songs suggest, it's very much a cross genre album by a singer/musician who ticks more than one box. Lance
